A blog from an Australian bride about her upcoming DIY (do it yourself) destination wedding in Italy. It contains experiences with things like printing invitations, making a wedding dress and veil, organising a reception and ceremony etc, while on a tight budget.

Dress in construction

Rob's away this weekend so i've taken the opportunity to start putting my dress together. It's been going a lot faster than i expected, with only a few minor mishaps, mostly involving the iron melting my lining! it tends to be a bit temperamental even on the delicate setting.

The dress is now sewn together, lining and fabric but minus the stay. I've sewed the boning into the lining and have attached the bridal loops. it's looking much more like a wedding dress now :)
